Guest D.J.Nick1212 Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 Taken from the Star's website SHEFFIELD Wednesday are having talks with former Newcastle and Portsmouth striker Lomana LuaLua. A free agent after leaving Cypriot club Omonia, the 30-year-old watched the Owls match against Sflaphorpe from the directors’ box. Manager confirmed yesterday: “We’re just having talks with him to see if we can come to an agreement. That’s as far as it’s gone. “Milan [Mandaric] knows him from his time at Portsmouth. We’re seeing if we can agree something that suits both parties but that hasn’t happened yet.” The Owls missed out on Adam Le Fondre as the Rotherham striker joined Reading. “That’s diappointing, but we move on elsewhere,” said Megson. “We wish Alf all the best at Reading and I’m sure he’ll be a success.” LuaLua, a Congolese international known for his goal celebration of backward somersaults, came to England as a youngster and started out at Colchester. Bobby Robson bought him for Newcastle for £2.25m in 2000, and Harry Redknapp took him to Portsmouth for £1.75m in 2004 after a three-month loan. He moved to Greek club Olympiakos for £2m-plus in 2007 and has played in Qatar. Megson refuses to name possible alternatives but the Owls, who made a bid for an undisclosed striker last week when they also tried for Le Fondre, could still be tracking Preston’s Neil Mellor and Norwich’s Cody McDonald, while Matt Tubbs of League Two side Crawley may be a fresh target, as the club try to sign a striker before the deadline on Wednesday. Tubbs has scored four goals this season and has attracted the attention of League clubs after being prolific in non-League football, with Salisbury and with Crawley, for whom he hit 40 goals in 47 appearances last season as they won promotion from the Conference, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

latemodelchild Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 lifted from OT guaranteed Nailed on. Wonder if he'll join the ranks of Dani, Rasiak and Kluivert and achieve Owlstalk immortality? Personally, I reckon he'll sign for us, no idea why, just a feeling in my water. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

latemodelchild Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 Can't remember. Just remember him being touted as a signing for us, then not signing obviously. Would have beeen a coup at the time as he was well thought of. Me and Steelowl like to keep his memory alive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
s29wfc Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 Dani! Blast from the past... Didn't he end up at Barca?
